Question Question about headers

When you buy some headers and they say they have a 3 inch collector thats not the reducer size probably 2 1/2 with reducer correct? I think I am right but I am up late and getting delirious any help? Thanks

the outlet for the headers would be 3" diameter, youd have to get reducers and put them on if you want them

3 inch collector is the size that comes out of the header.You will need a 3 inch pipe to connect to them or you'll need a 3X2&1/2 reducer.

lol,,Darrin beat me to it.

right but the pic shows the reducers with the flange to bolt them up to the headers and they look smaller than the collector size

The pic shows some reducers in there that bolt to the headers, so you should be good.
